How to get funding for a cleaning business?
To get funding for a cleaning business, choose the product that matches your client mix: working capital loans and lines of credit for residential operations, and invoice factoring for commercial cleaners waiting 30-60 days on contract payments. Cleaning businesses are lean and cash-flow driven, which means one big contract win can ironically cause a cash crisis: you staff up weeks before the first invoice pays. Quordx Capital matches cleaning companies to lenders from a 50+ network who fund service businesses on revenue, not assets: free, with one application.

How cleaning companies get approved
Lenders evaluate a cleaning business almost entirely on cash flow, because there's little equipment to secure:
1. Show 3-6 months of deposits. Typical alternative-lender minimums are 3-6+ months in business and around $10K+ in monthly revenue. Recurring contract revenue, offices, medical facilities, property managers, reads especially well. 2. Commercial cleaners: factor your invoices. If clients pay on net-30 or net-60 terms, invoice factoring advances part of each invoice's value within days (the rest, minus the factor's fee, arrives when your client pays), and the factor underwrites your clients' credit, not yours. It's the most accessible option for newer commercial operations. 3. **Use working capital for growth sprints.** Hiring crews for a new contract, buying supplies in bulk, or running a marketing push fits a working capital loan ($5K-$500K, short-term). 4. Equipment counts too. Floor scrubbers, vans, and pressure-washing rigs qualify for equipment financing, where the asset is the collateral and approval standards relax.
Revenue-based products accept credit scores down to roughly 500-550, making this one of the more accessible industries for owners rebuilding credit.
